Sacramento 8 Fresno 6
• Braymer (L, 0-3) 6IP, 6H, 3R, 3ER, 3BB, 4K, HR
• Guilbeau 1IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 1K
• Noll 1-3, BB
• C. Kieboom 1-4, R

Fresno dropped its second straight to Sacramento, 9-1, to fall four games back and just a game over .500. Ben Braymer lost for the third time in six starts with three runs let in on six hits (one HR, #9 in 27IP) and three walks. He struck out four while posting his first AAA quality start. After a scoreless 7th from Taylor Guilbeau, Justin Miller (two HR), Dakota Bacus (3H, 2BB, 5BF), and Joan Baez (3-2 IR-S) all had a hand in letting a 3-1 game become an easy decision to leave early for fans at Chukchansi Park. Jake Noll singled and walked while Carter Kieboom singled and scored the lone run. The rest of the Grizzlies lineup went 0-for-25.
Roster moves: C Raudy Read recalled to Washington; RHP Erick Fedde optioned from Washington.

Nick Banks’s two-run triple one out was the killshot as Harrisburg got four straight hits to open the frame and were aided by two wild pitches. The rally made a winner out of Bryan Bonnell who struck out two and gave up a hit in the 8th. Aaron did the same in the 9th for his 21st save. Jackson Tetreault was on the hook for the loss despite turning in a quality start of three runs on three hits and three walks while fanning four.

Irving gave up neither a run nor a walk, just four hits while fanning six to get his sixth win. Angel Guillen lost the shutout with homer in the 7th and wobbled through the 8th unscathed before giving way to Gabe Klobosits, who dispatched the Barves in order on 11 pitches.

Evan Lee followed with one run over two frames while the win went to Pearson McMahan with two goose eggs to close out the game.
